Real Actual Listing Photos: Home Still in Beta

It’s time for another installment of Real Actual Listing Photos. Once a month (or so) I round up some of the most bizarre listing photos from around the Seattle area and post them here, with brief excerpts from the real actual listing description, and probably a bit of snarky commentary.

Note the time it was rebuilt. According to the story I heard the guy rebuilt the place during the war in secret somehow.

I don’t know if it’s still there that there used to be a hallway that was a mural of a stone wall pathway in a forest, and from one apartment if you looked out the peephole you saw a bird sitting on a tree limb. Also lots of glass blocks with neon.

Dropping something hard on it and cracking it, like steel tools and such, when you’re in the bathroom re-gluing the wall/sink tiles falling off [and cracking in pieces?]….

When I had my interior of my house completely re-painted I made sure the contractors left me with a gallon of matching touchup paint…..I do hope they have the assortment of tiles in the house for crack repairs too…otherwise, calico repairs become another picture joke for the Tim…

Tim, as we have discussed in comments on this site some time ago, I think we should have a periodic entry called “Age-Progressed Real Estate Renderings” or something to that effect (maybe we could solicit entries from our readership). Or a pool to predict which multifamily buildings will be the first to become Section 8 housing.

Meanwhile, in my converted cold-war-era bomb shelter now workshop, I’m working on my latest invention: a Real Estate version of the classic Magic 8-ball. After a lot of research, I have determined that the classic version actually works for the purpose so my work is done. Example: Question: “Will owning this house end up being a nightmare?” Magic 8-ball answer: “Better not tell you now”

RE:redmondjp @ 4 – The Ballard townhomes built from about 2002-2006 are a good candidate for your proposal. They seemed to get a bit better after that, but this vintage of home is already really showing its age.
